Featured Route For The Aviary
Studebaker Hawk follows up the left-facing dihedral

Studebaker Hawk 5.10c  CA : Joshua Tree National Park : ... : The Aviary
This route is a fun and burly adventure up a very clean corner. Use hand, fist and OW technique to work your way up to a short hand traverse into an alcove on top of the dihedral. Avoid going right at this point (lots of loose flakes to shower your belayer with) and ride the left finish to the end....[more]   Browse More Classics in CA
